Vicki Caruana Livres

Vicki Caruana, author of the best-seller Apples & Chalkdust (Honor) and an expert on education, defines 10 essential competencies for lifelong success and helps parents to develop them in their children. Giving Your Child the Excellence Edge not only gives specific ideas to develop all their traits, it helps parents make the most of the intrinsic learning abilities each child possesses and make the necessary connections between success at home, in school, and in the world of work.

You probably don't have to think very hard to recall a dedicated teacher who touched your life in a lasting way with encouragement and inspiration . . . teachers just have a way of knowing exactly what to do or say to help children and teens reach their highest potential. No wonder so many parents and kids are looking for a way to say "thank you" and return some of that inspiration. From the author of the best-selling Apples & Chalkdust comes a new collection of encouraging and insightful stories for teachers, Apples & Chalkdust #2 . In this delightful new volume, veteran educator Vicki Caruana meets teachers right where they are, in the midst of flying chalkdust and papers to be graded. She provides refreshment and practical insights for embracing the challenges of teaching with renewed vigor and creativity.
